Our Children’s Gorilla is one of those uber, too cool for school kids brands that are fun to covet, but not always affordable. That’s why I haven’t shown you this gorgeous A-Frame Simplicity of a Dollhouse, because I refuse to highlight things I wouldn’t be willing to purchase myself (and at $250, the A-frame definitely qualifies as too high). But some gorillas are more equal opportunity than you’d think, as you can see in these perfectly eco-modern dollhouses above, selling for a mere $35. They’re also very egalitarian as far as gorillas go, because they’ve chosen to showcase a firehouse and a brownstone. Versus, say, a gingerbread house with pink flower trim. So all in all, I’m in love. Though I wish they were wood instead of cardboard. But can I admit something? The craftier (and that’s a double entendre, I don’t use that word lightly) side of me can imagine finding the perfect cardboard box, shipped on an overseas journey full of just-so items from my favorite as-yet-to-be-found british shop. Then, taking said box, and creating my own brownstone masterpiece. Maybe with a dash of coffee shop chic in the other corner, and an artists’ garret in the roof. What? Inspiration is the sincerest form of flattery. (A prhase I only employ when used in reference to others’ work, I’m such a hypocrite).
